Are you saying Mate has such an setting and you want Dolphin to follow it?
Or you want Dolphin on Mate to follow the setting from Plasma?
Comment 2 Axel Keller 2022-02-10 17:27:25 UTC
   Thank you for your quick response.

   MATE doesn't present such a setting (e.g. in MATE Tweak) but presents
   the kde systemsettings. So Dolphin should follow the settings from
   Plasma.

Dolphin on Mate reading settings from another desktop that happens to be installed would be quite odd, and most Mate users don't have Plasma installed anyway.

The single/double click behavior in Dolphin is controlled by a flag in the Qt PlatformTheme. The platformtheme provided by Plasma reads the setting set by systemsettings. What happens on Mate depends on what platformtheme is used there

Thanks for hint by Nicolas Fella, problem could be solved:

1. Install qt5ct from openSUSE repository
2. Add to etc/environment:
          QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
3. Set single click:
          Meu -> control center -> Qt5 settings -> User interface: activate entry with a single click
